for the rest of us "special needs" students

 

Sorry, should have pointed it out to all earlier. nother whoops.

Well now thats easier, what I did was copy it on my sys32 folder and prior to that did windows search for *.scr to locate them hahahahaha :-D

[soundx98]

well it certainly works that way as well - so it's all good

 

course I laughed my assoff

 

But you prolly managed to learn a lot about MBM5, ran into problems and overcame them, and got a nifty lookin MBM5 readout as well.

 

And ALL FOR FREE!

 

and the MBM screensaver is pretty dang slick as well. certainly a rarity.

Working perfectly here. Thanks for all your work on this and for sharing with the rest of us to make this easy for us.

well my bud is too lazy to pull the NV PCI-e card out of his Asus (hehehe, poor soul)

 

so unless I can get my hands on an nVidia card I think we are done here.

 

But before I get banned for using all the bandwidth here a couple of things you may want to mess with.

 

Make your own visual display!

this is great!! if only my CPU fan rpm would stop jumping all over the place. one sec @ 1500, next @ 10,000, next @ 28,000.

 

is my fan header screwed up???

[soundx98]

the config I posted polls at every 5 secs, not the default 10secs.

 

If you are saying it is jumping every sec something isn't right.

 

Your CPU fan should be on sensor #1 (I imagine it is).

Can you tell us what kind of fan it is? Make and specs.

I use a 3-pin to 4-pin molex adaptor with an RPM lead.

 

Try going into bios and setting to run at 25 degrees instead of deafault.

it's definitely set to update every 5 seconds, but it seems to update every 3 . . . anyways, it's not the jumping around that's weird, it's that this fan has a max speed of 2,400 RPM and i'm seeing numbers up > 20,000 and then to 0 (but it's still spinning)!!!! :eek:

 

my exhaust fan is rock steady, but that just has a monitoring wire to the mobo and then an adapter that goes to a molex so that's not a surprise. the chipset fan varies, but just by a handful of RPM each update.

 

i'll try adjusting in bios for max @ 25 and see what happens.

[drewski]

in terms of the make/model, it's the "retail fan" for my XP-90 cooler. i think it may have just had a "Thermalright" sticker on the hub.

 

2,400 max RPM

35 dBA

44.79 CFM

Dual Ball Bearing

92x92x25

 

i'll pop the clips off and take a closer peek before i adjust the bios.

[drewski]

that looks like it solved it!

 

i wonder why it thought it was going 10x faster than it's rated speed?

 

anyways, thanks again!! gotta try that visualization plug-in!

 

one other Q - any reason you can think of why the dashboard layout (how i've arranged the little squares) would change from when i shut down the computer to when it reboots?
